so, your friend and mine, raphaela667, has been writing a bunch of west wing / star trek reboot crossover ficlets. and it's brilliant, she's just done an expert job of translating the trek characters into comparable roles in the west wing (both in terms of character equivalents-- kirk is josh lyman! mccoy is toby zeigler! why did no one think of this before ( Read more... )

you know, i'd fucking kill for a standing-shoulder-to-shoulder scene the way there was at the end of "in excelsis deo". and "17 people" is still my absolutely favorite episode, the whole script, the pacing, toby, it's just perfect.

um, MERLIN. have you heard of this show called merlin?

gah, yeah, for serious there are just so many times that it's like, god, i want to be one of those people. i want to be that badass, goddamn!

ummm i have heard of merlin, i haven't gotten into it yet because i know once i do i'll be hooked, and so i've been waiting til after all my fic due dates are over, lol. i am excited to see it though, i've heard a LOT about it. XD

LOTR, but you knew that already. :)

LOL yes. seriously the best thing about the first movie to me was how well it brought to life the fellowship as a group of people who didn't know each other well at all in a lot of cases, but who ended up having to depend on each other for their lives. it tugs the heartstrings and presses the button that loves badassery at the same time. XD

bahhhhhhhhhhh I should be able to think of examples of badass!ensembles, but all I can think is 'GODDAMMIT, YET ANOTHER REASON TO GET INTO THE WEST WING'

I've never seen it. *hangs head in shame*

West Wing is one of my all time favorite shows. I never missed an episode, and I've since watched the entire series twice on DVD. Aaron Sorkin is a god ( ... )
